Kennebunk Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Kennebunk Beach.

To be honest, this is a pretty quiet stretch we’re looking at. For the next week and a half, there’s barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The swell is small, the periods are short, and the energy is just not there. The first real glimmer of anything happens way down the line.

We kick off on Thursday the 3rd with some weak, short-period SSE swell around 4ft, but the wind is all over the place and the combined energy is barely 101 (moderate wave energy). It’s just not happening. Friday and Saturday are similar – tiny waves and poor conditions. The first hint of something half-decent shows up on Sunday afternoon, the 6th. We’ve got a 4ft ENE swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the energy jumps to 286 (moderate wave energy). It’s still only a 1 out of 10 kind of day – surfable but very ordinary.

Monday the 7th morning brings a cleaner look with a 3ft ENE groundswell (10-second period) and a light offshore wind. The energy is 139 (moderate). It’s small and clean, but still nothing to write home about.

From Tuesday the 8th right through to Saturday the 13th, it’s pretty much flat. Waves drop to below 2ft, and the energy is in the gutter. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 9th with a 0.7ft swell, but you’d be hard-pressed to even call it surf.

Then, after almost a week of nothing, we get a little spike on Monday the 14th of September. A sudden 4ft SSW swell shows up with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is 111 (moderate). It’s a weird direction for here – the spot is sheltered and likes ENE, so it might be a bit lumpy, but it’s the best-looking window in the whole forecast. The wind stays clean into Tuesday morning the 15th with a moderate offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 1ft.

After that, it fades again into tiny, short-period slop through the end of the run. There is no standout session here. The best on offer is that Sunday afternoon the 6th or the Monday the 14th, but neither is a real winner. It’s a long, flat spell, and that’s just how it goes around here sometimes.

Keep an eye on the sky, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
